用法說明
How is "Think" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Think"?
think of doing vs think to do
- think of doing 表示「考慮、打算做某事」，強調正在腦中構思或計畫一個行動。
- think to do 在現代英語中較不常見，通常用於否定句或疑問句，表示「記得要做某事」或「想到要做某事」。
- 在肯定陳述句中，表達「打算」時，應使用 think of doing 或 think about doing，而非 think to do。
- 在過去式的否定句中，didn't think to do 是一個常見且正確的用法，意為「當時沒想到要做」。
對比例句： EN: I'm thinking of taking a vacation next month. 翻譯: 我正在考慮下個月休假。
EN:I didn't think to lock the door when I left.
翻譯:我離開時沒想到要鎖門。
總結建議
表達「考慮做某事」時，使用 think of/about doing；在否定過去情境中表示「沒想到做」，可使用 didn't think to do。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Think" and similar words?How to choose "Think" vs alternatives?
think vs believe
think 側重於思考、考慮或形成想法；believe 則強調基於信任、信心或接受某事為真。think 較主觀且可能改變，believe 則涉及更深層的信念。
think vs consider
think 泛指一般的思考或想法；consider 則指仔細、深思熟慮地思考，通常涉及評估或做決定前的審慎思量。
think vs suppose
think 表達較為確定的個人想法或意見；suppose 則常用於表示假設、推測，或基於有限資訊的猜想，語氣較不確定。

引述
在轉述他人想法或對話時，常用 "I was thinking..." 或 "He's like, 'I think...'" 這類結構來引述，語氣較為隨意。 EN: So I was thinking, maybe we should just order takeout tonight. 翻譯: 所以我就在想啊，或許我們今晚就叫外賣好了。
EN:And then she was like, "I think you should talk to him first."
翻譯:然後她就說：「我覺得你應該先跟他談談。」
語氣強調
在口語中，常透過重音、拉長音或搭配 "really", "just" 等詞來強調思考的過程或表達強烈的個人意見。 EN: I really think you're making a big mistake. 翻譯: 我真的認為你正在犯一個大錯。
EN:I just think it's not the right time, you know?
翻譯:我只是覺得現在不是對的時機，你懂吧？
停頓填充
在組織思緒或尋找合適詞語時，"I think" 常被用作填充語，為說話者爭取時間，有時並不表示強烈的斷言。 EN: Well, I think... maybe we could try a different approach. 翻譯: 嗯，我覺得…或許我們可以試試不同的方法。
EN:It's kind of, I think, more complicated than it looks.
翻譯:這事情有點，我覺得，比看起來更複雜。
正式寫作注意：在學術論文、正式報告或商業文件中，應避免將 "I think" 用作填充語或過度使用以表達個人觀點。建議改用更客觀、有力的表述，如 "It is evident that...", "The evidence suggests...", 或 "From the analysis, it can be concluded that..."，以增強論述的權威性與客觀性。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Think"?Which "Think" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I am thinking that he is right.
✓I think he is right.
在表達意見或信念時，通常使用簡單式 'think'，而非進行式。進行式 'am thinking' 通常用於描述正在進行的思考過程，例如 'I am thinking about the problem.'
×I think to go to the party.
✓I am thinking of going to the party.
表達考慮做某事時，應使用 'think of/about + V-ing' 或 'think about + V-ing'，而非 'think to + V'。'Think to + V' 在現代英語中較少見，通常用於否定句表示『想到要做某事』，如 'I didn't think to lock the door.'
×I think he doesn't like it.
✓I don't think he likes it.
在否定個人想法或意見時，英語習慣將否定詞 'not' 放在主要動詞 'think' 之前，而非放在後面子句的動詞前。這稱為『否定前移』。
×I think you are not correct.
✓I don't think you are correct.
同上，否定個人意見時，否定詞應置於 'think' 前。此規則主要適用於第一人稱 'I think'。
×What do you think about?
✓What are you thinking about?
詢問對方『正在想什麼？』時，因為指的是當下正在進行的思考活動，應使用現在進行式 'are thinking'。'What do you think about...?' 是用來詢問對某個特定主題或事物的看法，例如 'What do you think about the new policy?'
×I think he is a teacher, isn't he?
✓I think he is a teacher, don't I?
附加問句應與主要子句的主詞和動詞一致。此句主要子句是 'I think'，因此附加問句應為 'don't I?'。若想確認『他是不是老師』，應說 'He is a teacher, isn't he?'，而不在前面加上 'I think'。
